Inside Bacardi: Stephanie Macleod’s journey in Scotch whisky blending. Beverage Trade Network chats with Master Blender Stephanie Macleod on her journey. Stephanie Macleod’s journey into the world of whisky began with curiosity and evolved into a passion for one of the world’s most cherished spirits. With a background in food science and sensory analysis, her path to becoming Bacardi’s Director of Blending for Scotch whisky was not a conventional one, yet her scientific rigor and creative intuition made her an ideal fit. Over two decades at Bacardi, Macleod has not only preserved the rich traditions of Dewar’s but has also infused innovation into its iconic blends. As the first woman to become Master Blender for Dewar’s, she stands as a beacon for a new generation, pioneering fresh approaches in a historically male-dominated industry. Macleod’s unwavering commitment to quality, combined with her ability to nurture the next wave of whisky talent, reflects both her respect for tradition and her forward-looking vision for Bacardi’s Scotch whisky portfolio.
